A daring mother and son leapt into the skies to raise funds for the Research and Innovation department. 
Mandy Carnahan and her son Harry were due to skydive from a plane on Harry’s 21st birthday last week, but it didn’t go ahead because of the weather. It is now due to take place on Saturday 27 September at Tilstock Airfield near Whitchurch. The fundraiser aims to support crucial research and innovation projects within The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH), enhancing patient care and advancing medical research.
Mandy said: “We are raising money for the Research and Innovation (R&I) department at SaTH to enable more research to be done for our patients. R&I currently has over 50 research studies open across a range of conditions and we would really like to be able to do more.
“Harry and I thought jumping out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane might attract attention – and we were due to do it on Harry’s 21st birthday! The jump is all paid for, so any money raised goes
directly to the charity. Any support for us would be very much appreciated.”
